To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Jonah Last night my cat, Jonah (6 years) was euthansized because he had effusive FIP Over the past few weeks I noticed significant weight loss and he wasn’t eating and sleeping on my bed all day. This was not typical. Thinking he had an illness that he would get treated for I was not overly concerned until the word “grave” was used. The vet said he wouldn’t not die that night but was a few days to a week from passing. I sat shocked at what I was supposed to do. It is hard to end the life of someone you love. But I made the hard choice to do it then. It would break my heart for him to have died at home while I was at work. I wanted him to have his mommy when he went. I held his face and told him I loved him and watch his spirit leave his eyes. The image is hard to forget and I hope he forgives me for the hard choice I had to make. Or maybe I hope I forgive me for the hard choice. Comments
